Secondly, I don't think things in Iraq are as bad as the media portrays it to be. It is fukking unbelievable that you could make this comment after Paul Bremer ran to the airport on 28 June before the ink had time to dry on the transition papers. Why do you think he ran so fast...becasue he had a dentist apptment in DC that he didn't want to miss?!!! Truly unbelievable! With such daNile, the GOP deserves to lose in November. ted

re: I don't think things in Iraq are as bad as the media portrays it to be. I don't think the media has a clue how bad it really is. re: And third, when it came to terrorism pre-9/11, inaction has always been a very desirable alternative because of the nature of dilemma. Post-9/11, inaction no longer seems desirable. Or at least we now know the cost of inaction, and many of us would rather live with the consequences of doing something over those of doing nothing. Let's see, in your mind, there are 2 options: attack Iraq or "do nothing"? Who ever said "do nothing", I'm saying don't do the wrong thing. Attack Bora Bora when OBL was there might have been a good "do something". Chasing him and his buddies into the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan might have been a good "do something". Currently we could be adding funding to the intellegence communities, Bush opposes that. Maybe we take the best and brightest from the NATO countries and build an international terrorist task force? Maybe we add funding to our police forces, and our first responders, Bush is fighting that. The opposite of Iraq is not "do nothing". It's do something (with our resources) that actually hurts, rather than helps the terrorists. And your Christian thing isn't worth discussing. Hell, I'm a confirmed Episcopalian! John
